GBP Game-Day Fan Fare Cookbook Review & Giveaway!

Gooseberry Patch has a brand new cookbook, Game-Day Fan Fare. I've managed to narrow my review down to three super easy and super yummy recipes! It was a hard job picking out just a few. There are so many I felt would be perfect for my family.

Reuben Roll

From the chapter: Souper-Bowl Soups, Salads & Sandwiches

16-oz. pkg. frozen pizza dough, thawed

1 lb. thinly sliced deli corned beef

1/2 lb. sliced Swiss cheese

14-1/2 oz. can sauerkraut, drained

Optional: olive oil and garlic salt

Roll out dough into a 12-inch round. Evenly top dough with corned beef. Layer cheese over beef; sprinkle evenly with sauerkraut. Fold in 2 sides of dough and roll up, sealing edges. Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt, if desired. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, until golden. Slice to serve. Makes 8 servings.

*I also served this with Thousand Island dressing.

Awesome Dip

From the chapter: Major League Munchies

1 lb. ground beef

16-oz. pkg. pasteurized process cheese spread, diced

16-oz. bottle salsa

tortilla chips

Brown beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain and spoon into a slow cooker. Add cheese and salsa. Cover and cook on low setting, stirring occasionally, for 4 hours, or until cheese is melted. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Serves 8-10.

White Chicken Chili

From the chapter Souper-Bowl Soups, Salads & Sandwiches

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

6 15-1/2 oz. cans Great Northern beans

2 4-oz. cans chopped green chilies

4 c. chicken broth

2 onions, diced

2 tsp. ground cumin

1-1/2 tsp. garlic, minced

1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. white pepper

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

24-oz. container sour cream

Place all ingredients except sour cream in a slow cooker; do not drain beans or chilies. Cover and cook on low setting for 6-8 hours, until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from chili and dice; return to slow cooker. Stir in sour cream just before serving. Makes 12 servings.
